Seasonal Pixel Art in MS Excel or Google Sheets - Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall
By Innovations in Technology
Lesson Overview
Need a fun way to introduce Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to upper elementary or middle school students? This seasonal bundle lets students learn the basics of Microsoft Excel (or Google Sheets) as they create pixel art using the program. First, they'll create a quick pixel art from a given example and then they'll create their own! This bundle includes the full lesson for each season: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. These are each sold separately too, if you prefer. These are also fun lessons to use if you just need something for a one day lesson.
I've used this with 7th and 8th graders who used their free time to create even more art! I hope your students have as much fun as mine did learning Excel or Google Sheets!
Materials Required
· Computers with Internet access for each student (or pair of students)
· Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets
Files Included for Each Season
· Teacher & Student Resources
· Introduction to Pixel Art Lesson (Microsoft Excel project) with tutorial
